Mid Week Thoughts

• Wow, it was a busy morning at work...we are definitely entering the busy time of the year at Starbucks...and I'm loving it!!!
• Alison and I both voted yesterday...men and women through the history of our great country have sacrificed their lives to protect this right of ours...it is our duty to vote!!!
• Speaking of voting, it is amazing how many people gripe about standing in line, even for a few minutes!
• Saw the trailer for Season 5 of "Lost" coming up in February--can't wait!
• There is a special "24" movie coming on in November that will bridge the gap between last season and the new season coming up--very exciting.
• Through Facebook, I was able to re-connect with a former college buddy (Jon Becker) who now serves a church in Memphis.  Jon and his son Caedmon popped by to see me at work today and we were able to hang out over coffee and I am looking forward to having lunch with Jon tomorrow!
• Another college friend, Winn Collier, has released his newest book, Holy Curiosity.  Everything Winn writes is really good, and I am very excited to read this book...buy a copy today!
• Sports update...Alabama should roll on over Arkansas State at homecoming this weekend, the Titans will have to play tough to beat a very good Green Bay team but I am still hoping for a win, and I am really needing to pick up a QB and WR for my fantasy football league this weekend to put together another winning weekend!
• Bad news--The tickets for the Titans/Jets game did not work out...Great news--looks like we will have tickets for the Titans/Browns game in December--you are the bomb, Tom!
• My small group totally rocks...last night we met and passed out 100+ bags in the neighborhood where we meet to collect cans and dry goods for the Collierville Food Bank on Halloween...it was freezing, but no one grumbled about the cold and I think we all had a great time doing a great thing!
• Maddie made a very exciting announcement to me in the truck today on the way home from school that I will share with you on tomorrow's blog!
